dave's scholar's rock
Over the years I met many wonderful people that helped with the realization of this project. I just want to thank a few of them. One of them was Mr. Wong, who has a Chinese antiques store on Allen Street between Delancey and Rivington Streets. He made the connection with Mr. Sheh who traveled around China and sent pictures of about 60 rocks from which I chose the five big ones that are in the mall now. They were imported by Mr. Ly’s import company outside Philadelphia and sat in his warehouse for years waiting to be installed. Mr.Ly also supplied the smaller jade rocks. - Justen Ladda (artist)
In the Tang dynasty, a set of four important qualities for the rocks were recognized. They are: thinness (shou), openness (tou), perforations (lou), and wrinkling (zhou).[1]
Chinese scholar's rocks influenced the development of Korean suseok and Japanese suiseki.
interesante.
